About Our Marketing Translation Services
Global Language Services helps you expand your reach without losing your identity. We understand that marketing copy is different from legal or technical text – it requires creativity, cultural flair, and emotional intelligence.
SEO Keyword Research
For websites and ads, basic translation can put a ceiling on the results you’ll get in a specific market. If, for example, you want to increase your presence in Germany, there’s a more bullet proof option that’s going to result in website visits and a positive user experience. Performing a territory specific SEO keyword research will allow you to adapt your website and ads so that they reach your exact target audience.
Transcreation, not just translation
The last thing you want is a literal translation that kills the “hook”. At Global Language Services, we don’t just swap words, our linguists practice transcreation – adapting your creative concepts so the spirit and intent of your message land perfectly with your target audience. Transcreation is necessary when using SEO keywords, as the source text may need to be adapted in the target language to factor these in. This is also a key opportunity to mould the text to adhere to the cultural and linguistic expectations of your target audience.
Protecting your brand consistency
You’ve spent years refining your brand voice; we ensure it travels. Your project manager will handpick translators with creative advertising and marketing backgrounds, ensuring they adhere to your brand guidelines and terminology. Your assigned translator will be a native speaker of your target language which gives them invaluable knowledge to localise the content accurately to your target audience, ensuring your message resonates authentically. We can build glossaries for you to ensure that your product names and slogans remain consistent, whether in Tokyo, Berlin, or London.
Cultural consultancy
A phrase that works in the UK might confuse or alienate an audience abroad.
Our native-speaking translators act as your cultural safety net, flagging idioms, concepts, or cultural reference points that won’t translate well, ensuring your campaign is sensitive to the local market and effective.
Secure and Confidential
Marketing campaigns often involve embargoed information.
Your data is secure with us. We are ISO 27001 Information Security Management certified, and all our staff and translators sign NDAs, ensuring your campaign doesn’t leak before launch.
We can translate any document
We draw from a pool of over 1,000 experienced linguists who confidently translate a huge range of marketing materials. We’ll assign a translator with the most closely matched experience for the best end result.

Frequently asked questions
Below are answers to our most frequently asked questions regarding marketing translation. Reach out to us directly to discuss your specific campaign needs.
We use a process called transcreation.
The phrase “it’s raining cats and dogs” translated literally would confuse a foreign reader. Our creative linguists find the equivalent local idiom that conveys the same meaning and emotion, ensuring your wit and tone are preserved.
We know that languages like German can be up to 30% longer than English.
If you provide us with character limits or visual constraints (like button sizes), our translators will adapt the copy to fit. We also offer Multilingual DTP services to adjust your artwork layouts for you.
A literal translation of your keywords might not be what local users actually type into search engines.
We can perform multilingual keyword research to ensure we are using the specific terms your target market uses to find products like yours, helping your campaign rank higher.
Costs are calculated on a per-word basis, depending on the complexity and creativity required.
Because creative transcreation takes more time than standard translation, we are happy to provide a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your campaign.
We know marketing is reactive. For urgent press releases or social posts, we can often provide a turnaround within one working day. Let us know your deadline, and we will make it happen.
We are ISO 27001 Information Security Management certified, meaning we are well equipped to prevent cyber attacks on the information we store. Our staff and translators all sign confidentiality agreements, and we are happy to sign off on any further NDAs you may want to put in place. Transfers can also be carried out over encrypted channels upon request.
